Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles "Earlier" Rem 700 synthetic stock ID

What say you? edit: Pretty sure I've made up my mind....


A fellow suspected it is an RS, but, it's definitely different than my RS. Note, hollows around the front takedown, and definite injected-poly-like grip cap.

Early 90s poly? Shirley (lol) in hand, poly or not, is not a difficult choice... Hmmm.









My RS. Modified but I don't recall there being a "grip cap" like an injection molded poly stock. Forearm Inletting is definitely different. IIRC, mine was solid for a couple few inches ahead of the recoil lug, unlike shown above.

I think I had a model 7 that had a stock like that and I bought it new around 95

Just poly ain't it?

Mine was but it was the texture that was different than the ones later

Isn't that the Lee Six Industries stock that Remington call the Arylon and rifle the 700 AS?

Inquiring minds want to know.

There are a couple of 700 AS rifles currently listed on GB if you want to go there and look at the pictures.

I think that they are pretty good stocks if you can buy them for under $100.

I have a couple the 700 AS stocks, LAs only, and Six Industries stocks for a Remington 700 Varmint and a Ruger 77 SA. I got the 700 Varmint stock cheap because a guy bought it for a Savage and found that it didn't fit. It was marked "SAV" in the barrel channel. Short Action Varmint, abbreveated SAV, could be a little confusing if you didn't recognize the inletting.

This is the texture of the AS... Definitely different.




I think this unknown is simply an early 90s poly.... I have no other information besides those four pictures though, so open to persuasive comment.

Yes. I recall now a 7 with a texture just like the pictured unknown. Poly without any checkering...

Researching, I found I'd had an AS before. LOL. That ain't one, nor RS. Some of this stuff was wayyy too long ago. LOL

Does it float? Yes = Polypropylene

I bought a stainless synthetic when they first came out, 91 or 92.

It was called a SS BDL Mountain rifle.

The inletting and texture are different.
